Unable to delete rows via script

I am trying to run a Python script on a Windows Server Enterprise 2008, SP2 machine. I am able to successfully run this script from my own machine (Windows 7) but once I move it over to the server the script stalls at the point of arcpy.DeleteRows_management. I thought perhaps there was a permissions issue... This script was generated from a model I built in ArcMap, if I open the model via ArcMap on the server I am able to run the delete rows step. I stepped through running my script, commenting each different action out, when I have it try to do only the delete rows action Idle just hangs and goes to Not Responding. The script is able to do all the other actions, make the event layer, append, compress and analyze. This is the first script I am working with, any advice in troubleshooting this issue is much appreciated.
